Art & Crafts - Shapes Scarecrow

This was an easy and fun craft that's great for a little one learning shapes. Xander of course also had a ball gluing the scarecrow together. I just put a little glue on a paper plate and let him apply it with a craft stick. He loved putting the shapes in the correct places, circles for eyes, triangle for the nose, rectangle body and discussing where things go: where the eyes go, where the hands go, etc. And it turned out pretty cute too I think...
